Segments

/groups

A segment is who a group-scoped event is about. A static segment keeps a list you add to; a dynamic segment holds whoever's attributes contain its filter, so nobody keeps it up. Beside the segments somebody keeps are temporary lists, picked by a person for one send: you can see them, but a key cannot change one and an event cannot name one. In the Subscription business pack a segment is, for example, “Annual plans”.

PATCHUpdate a segment

Requires groups:write. Send only what changes — except attributes, which is replaced whole. kind and member_kind never change: make a new segment instead. A body that changes nothing is refused.

Path parameters

group_iduuid · required

The segment id.

Body parameters

namestring · optional · max 200

filterobject · optional

A dynamic segment's only. A static segment has none to set (400).

external_refstring · optional · max 200

Changed here, never emptied: blank leaves the one on file alone.

attributesobject · optionalVaries by pack

Generated from the Subscription business pack's group_schema. PATCH replaces the whole object; it does not merge.
